    Struggles/successes: Weight is back down and I’ve managed lots of exercise. Still really struggling to sleep much more than four hours a night and I know this is affecting hunger as well as energy. I have no problem falling asleep, just can’t stay asleep! Any ideas?!

    Have a good weekend all x

    @Faebert I sleep in 2-4 hour blocks. It's because I need the toilet. I'm fine sleeping again after I go. Could it be that?

    After the holidays I'm thinking about going back into weight loss mode until I reach 115. I would like my range to be between 115 and 125. Reason for the change is because I'm two inches shorter than I was 2 years ago and that changed my BMI numbers.

    Thanks @Orphia I think my problem is that whatever the reason I wake up, my mind immediately starts thinking about what I have to do the next day. I workout really early in the mornings too so sometimes I decide I might as well just get up and have a bit of extra quiet time before the workout. But I’m going to work on going straight back to bed instead. Managed an extra hour last night so hopefully a good start!

    Great blog.....thanks for starting in. Thrilled to share my goals with others!!
    In late September, I started a strength training regime with a Personal Trainer. While my dietary intake has not changed, my weight is changing because I'm building muscle. I'm feeling the best I've felt in a long time and plan to continue!

    Has anyone had their weight just randomly start getting really erratic? My weight used to stay pretty steady +/- a couple lbs but here lately it's been fluctuating quite a lot. Like some days it'll be as low as 151 and others as high as 157. Doesn't have anything to do with my monthly cycle as far as I can tell.

    I started keeping an excel log of my calories in, out, net , and my weight, trend weight, total lbs lost, and day of cycle. I'm such a nerd.

    Name: missperfectpitch
    Height: 5'4"
    Total weight lost: About 43 pounds
    Time it took to lose: 1 year and 2 months
    How long in maintenance: I hit my goal weight in the beginning of January 2018, but officially started maintenance in mid-March 2018 after figuring out my calories for a couple of months.
    Maintenance weight range: 108-111.5

    Average weight recorded from January: 110.6
    Average weight recorded from February: 109.5
    Average weight recorded from March: 109.0
    Average weight recorded from April: 109.1
    Average weight recorded from May: 109.3
    Average weight recorded from June: 109.7
    Average weight recorded from July: 110.1
    Average weight recorded from August: 109.7
    Average weight recorded from September: 110.3
    Average weight recorded from October: 110.1

    Week of...
    November 3: 110.5 (trend 110.3)
    November 10: 110.1 (trend 110.2)
    November 17: 110.3 (trend 110.2)
    November 24: 109.5 (trend 109.8)

    Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: I managed to remain consistently in the middle of my maintenance range this week, despite two days of eating a ton of food over the holiday and the day after. I also somehow over-budgeted calories for those days (didn't eat quite as much as I'd thought that I would), which means that I've got a bunch of extra calories for next week's use!

    How long in maintenance: 16 months
    Maintenance weight range: 152-156
    Average weight recorded from 2017 (12 months): I don't know


    Average weight recorded from April: 155.57
    Average weight recorded from May: 156.6
    Average weight recorded from June: 156
    Average weight recorded from July: 157.1

    Week of...
    November 4: 155.3 (trend 154.5)
    November 11: 156.0 (trend 154.1)
    November 18: 155.5
    November 25: 157.4 (trend 154.2)

    weight is up due to it being almost that time of the month.
    I've been successfully logging my calories for over a week now, even all thanksgiving break (and I ate thanksgiving leftovers ALLLLL weekend). I ended up with a 186 calorie deficit over the entire week so I did pretty darn good for eating all that thanksgiving goodness and 3 different types of desserts for four days straight


    I've been complaining about how much calorie counting sucks for the last several months but now that I'm doing it again I've realized it really isn't too terrible. When things get too tedious, I'm ok with just doing a very lazy style of logging. I didn't weigh and measure my food at all, except for things like peanut butter. On everything else I just guestimated. Which is good enough for me.
